At the physical level, yoga and its cleansing practices have proven to be extremely effective for various disorders.

Why? It is here that the remarkable research behind yoga positions proves its mettle. Seemingly unrelated “non strenuous” yoga positions act upon certain parts of the body in an interrelated manner. When done together, they work in harmony to create a situation where flexibility is attained relatively easily.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Massaging of All Organs of the Body</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtmIGxjdnljJ64Etd_fCzCcp0a_0SbRqgrfOnz_jRUBGAlg5SmyjfYG99jEUj0nyPw9d2zPqog3DRCGEmA-KvU-79AVYdRLp401-l75tHZlanqqBND4r_YNLGHPiYfvOtH5OpfYSFksCc/s1600/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Benefits_of_Yoga_3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 359px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtmIGxjdnljJ64Etd_fCzCcp0a_0SbRqgrfOnz_jRUBGAlg5SmyjfYG99jEUj0nyPw9d2zPqog3DRCGEmA-KvU-79AVYdRLp401-l75tHZlanqqBND4r_YNLGHPiYfvOtH5OpfYSFksCc/s400/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Benefits_of_Yoga_3.jpg" alt="Yoga" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704121944689228402" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Yoga is perhaps the only form of activity which massages all the internal glands and organs of the body in a thorough manner, including those – such as the prostate - that hardly get externally stimulated during our entire lifetime. Yoga acts in a wholesome manner on the various body parts. This stimulation and massage of the organs in turn benefits us by keeping away disease and providing a forewarning at the first possible instance of a likely onset of disease or disorder.<br /><br />One of the far-reaching benefits of yoga is the uncanny sense of awareness that it develops in the practitioner of an impending health disorder or infection.

Those with a tendency toward emotional eating are especially vulnerable to making poor diet choices for reasons outlined in this article. If you’re an emotional eater, you may find yourself eating to deal with uncomfortable emotions, using food as a reward when you’re happy, and craving sweets or unhealthy snacks when stressed. (Don’t worry; you’re not alone!) The following ideas can help you to cut down emotional eating and develop healthier eating habits—even when stressed!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Find Relaxation Techniques</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMQ8wPqXNwzTkIQEVHzZXFCFdUjtE4VF_LgrrP4wLclDEKi1OoHRD6q1AgTiYYMkDVuxI72yQikRGw6f9PZFHYqyLaXT4rg3bkOe9MXSXak0F0cOaj-PPx4hk4W8WdOcrRptdi4Ohz5eQ/s1600/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_How_to_Stop_Emotional_Eating_Yoga.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMQ8wPqXNwzTkIQEVHzZXFCFdUjtE4VF_LgrrP4wLclDEKi1OoHRD6q1AgTiYYMkDVuxI72yQikRGw6f9PZFHYqyLaXT4rg3bkOe9MXSXak0F0cOaj-PPx4hk4W8WdOcrRptdi4Ohz5eQ/s400/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_How_to_Stop_Emotional_Eating_Yoga.jpg" alt="Yoga" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704084332773525666" border="0" /></a><br /><br />When you’re under stress, your body is likely producing higher levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that tends to make people crave sweet and salty food—the stuff that’s generally not good for us. If you’re experiencing stress on a regular basis and aren’t finding ways to relax your body relatively quickly, cortisol could be creating these cravings, as well as contributing to other health problems. The following stress relievers for busy people can help, or you can find stress relievers that fit with your specific situation with the Stress Reliever Personality Tool.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cope In Healthy Ways</span><br />Many people use food to deal with uncomfortable emotions like anger, frustration, fear, and other feelings.

Drink Perrier instead of soda; munch on veggies or healthy snacks instead of chips; savor one small piece of dark chocolate instead of binging on a whole chocolate muffin from the coffee shop (it’ll help you live longer!). All of these things can be good for you, so you’ll still come out ahead without feeling completely deprived.<br /><br />source:<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">- stress.about.com</span><br /></div>Be Healthy Insidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10451397253358442519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259058195916581635.post-63777060092385948622012-01-31T13:36:00.004-10:002012-01-31T13:47:44.202-10:00Bedtime Snacks That Help You Sleep Better<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjclP-X5S87fLHsLUKzgJBDAhyphenhyphenH_A48pTE2eupEojIozyJ58BQjrdY8h1eBGvsdpa97KsMzvx35shdXqYR-laNbh_GkbfnX2STslK5sV3QtP_dPZwnVKkeOFthG0v4s7e5icZOefggNRuM/s1600/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Bedtime_Snack_01.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 350px; height: 350px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjclP-X5S87fLHsLUKzgJBDAhyphenhyphenH_A48pTE2eupEojIozyJ58BQjrdY8h1eBGvsdpa97KsMzvx35shdXqYR-laNbh_GkbfnX2STslK5sV3QtP_dPZwnVKkeOFthG0v4s7e5icZOefggNRuM/s400/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Bedtime_Snack_01.jpg" alt="Sleep" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703946044742609170" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">What to Eat to Help You Sleep Better</span></span><br /><br />Bedtime snacks can help you sleep better? Conventional wisdom says you’re not supposed to eat right before you go to bed. That’s supposed to be the worst time to eat, the time it all goes to your waistline.<br /><br />But lately I’ve been hearing that it can be good to snack before bed, especially if you have insomnia. My cousin tells me that Cream of Wheat before bed helps her child fall asleep. And a Tylenol PM commercial claims that adults should have a bowl of cereal before bed to improve their sleep.<br /><br />I decided to look into this a bit more, and I found two good articles on the topic. One is a WebMD article that explains why bedtime snacks can indeed help you sleep. It has to do with your metabolic hormones. If you don’t have enough leptin, the hormone that signals satiety, your body could wake you up. However, the article says that you can’t snack on just anything; you have to choose your snacks wisely. Light dairy and carbohydrate-rich snacks are the way to go. The second article I found, from MedicineNet, also talks about the benefits of snacking before bed, but this one gets into more detail about what to eat and what to avoid.<br /><br />Here’s a brief summary of the best and worst bedtime snacks, based on the two articles.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Best Bedtime Snacks:</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Carbohydrates</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9jqeb0hvq7wevYMS35lftD7MlHE8FlRYwhythUfH38tD6zfdsQ4GbI-RjN8HT7A_zH0J_3GDoRRs3kzJn-UKx0mx53AF7ehew31YqQx-ToLRztjkH2cmqr72vAKibOTrkvgmtRn5MRrk/s1600/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Bedtime_Snack_02.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 350px; height: 263px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9jqeb0hvq7wevYMS35lftD7MlHE8FlRYwhythUfH38tD6zfdsQ4GbI-RjN8HT7A_zH0J_3GDoRRs3kzJn-UKx0mx53AF7ehew31YqQx-ToLRztjkH2cmqr72vAKibOTrkvgmtRn5MRrk/s400/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Bedtime_Snack_02.jpg" alt="Bedtime Snacks Cereal" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703946046116503090" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnKlIzkX9PMuMEwdo5HWJL8BRwJtQcyWcl8TSipl7zl3THDjz-IOU9dWRu9BujgLCoy4d4CSM5zAYhJlNFgtZEM6V9U4823okpAThDG_0ZgHBvQLWcqonz9OREkzoKZXg0xuSPF81V-NM/s1600/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Bedtime_Snack_03.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 350px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnKlIzkX9PMuMEwdo5HWJL8BRwJtQcyWcl8TSipl7zl3THDjz-IOU9dWRu9BujgLCoy4d4CSM5zAYhJlNFgtZEM6V9U4823okpAThDG_0ZgHBvQLWcqonz9OREkzoKZXg0xuSPF81V-NM/s400/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Bedtime_Snack_03.jpg" alt="Bedtime Snacks Oatmeal" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703946051648061442" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Like a bowl of cold cereal, oatmeal with honey, a banana, a granola bar, some whole wheat crackers or pretzels, or a piece of bread or English muffin.

Oats, honey, and bananas were mentioned as being particularly good carbohydrate sources of tryptophan.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dairy</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhknkahGj4RaycTNAOZhdXpeHX166Z0WjuaniUvKafwKGbL1amVVCvbOrIgvYwPKMgcifLivPvDj_DvURVCfDs8MoKC2R9UkpRX6nd2cvfS0x2AGnRoHvyvWfmZTvGk5_-XDPqCxH9YlYk/s1600/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Bedtime_Snack_05.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 350px; height: 244px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhknkahGj4RaycTNAOZhdXpeHX166Z0WjuaniUvKafwKGbL1amVVCvbOrIgvYwPKMgcifLivPvDj_DvURVCfDs8MoKC2R9UkpRX6nd2cvfS0x2AGnRoHvyvWfmZTvGk5_-XDPqCxH9YlYk/s400/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Bedtime_Snack_05.jpg" alt="Bedtime Snacks Dairy Food" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703946061105934466" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUI8NfVZfKzeproJRHVvG1qroMI2io5HIWLFAv0i7F4-NRpA0FijL-q5BY4ioj644y7UdrT661aEVglqInN5EoXAJf8KVL53dh1MBDMsWxuJ-TP91VCE9rqv_PXtLrCXFp27JBnAbqBuc/s1600/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Bedtime_Snack_04.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 350px; height: 338px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUI8NfVZfKzeproJRHVvG1qroMI2io5HIWLFAv0i7F4-NRpA0FijL-q5BY4ioj644y7UdrT661aEVglqInN5EoXAJf8KVL53dh1MBDMsWxuJ-TP91VCE9rqv_PXtLrCXFp27JBnAbqBuc/s400/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Bedtime_Snack_04.jpg" alt="Bedtime Snacks Dairy Food" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703946049934478658" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Dairy is also a good source of tryptophan, especially with combined with some carbs. Try a small bowl of cereal with skim milk, or small pieces of cheese with crackers. I like eating a little hot cereal, or a few cookies, and/or a small mug of warm skim milk—I steam it, so it’s like the foam of a cappuccino, without the espresso. And I sprinkle a little cinnamon on top.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Avoid These Bedtime Snacks:</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Protein-rich snacks</span><br />Such as protein bars, protein-enhanced drinks, and meat jerky. Foods high in protein are harder for your body to break down and digest, and they can interfere with your sleep. So I guess that although eating turkey makes you tired (as everyone jokes on Thanksgiving…), it might not be as good for your sleep as non-protein-rich sources of tryptophan, like oats and honey.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Big portions/full meals.</span><br />These can cause heartburn, acid reflux, or choking, or just make you feel uncomfortable.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">High fat snacks.</span> Same as above!<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Spicy snacks.</span> Same as above!<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Anything with caffeine</span>, including food and beverages that have small or hidden amounts of it, like decaf coffee and chocolate.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Anything too sugary</span>, like candy or sugary cereal or cake. The sugar high and low can interfere with your sleep.<br /><br />Unfortunately, many people are having more trouble sleeping than usual these days, with financial stresses and all. If this is the case for you, don’t force yourself to go to bed hungry just because you think you’re not supposed to eat late. Have a small bedtime snack, and maybe you’ll sleep better! It won’t be that many additional calories, and besides, you can always cut down at a different meal if you want. Just take good care of yourself!<br /><br />source :<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">- thehealthysnacksblog.com</span><br /></div>Be Healthy Insidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10451397253358442519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259058195916581635.post-18659395830004448382012-01-31T13:14:00.005-10:002012-01-31T13:23:06.679-10:00Kristen Bell's Self Magazine Interview<div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9Ll6NG-YJeG7PtxBvH2QkPY5Gjb76Hpm4jUfvwXsJn9oN0VtiqJu5OtlI6mcgZ5rWeu_b32Ysjv2waLUiiw-louElQxSjCf0v_BWqRnpOA-s2n8aM8GUHu-dkzSexT8PYcAMHKScCNb0/s1600/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Kristen_Bell_Self_Magazine_Interview_01.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 543px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9Ll6NG-YJeG7PtxBvH2QkPY5Gjb76Hpm4jUfvwXsJn9oN0VtiqJu5OtlI6mcgZ5rWeu_b32Ysjv2waLUiiw-louElQxSjCf0v_BWqRnpOA-s2n8aM8GUHu-dkzSexT8PYcAMHKScCNb0/s400/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Kristen_Bell_Self_Magazine_Interview_01.jpg" alt="Kristen Bell" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703939763617982690" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDH6yw6gZV9GiTosM3eYsNfqdIx15wysAaYBF46zN8ihqhVSbJQoPVOLLSlRR7u8bT632bFJcqNo77XjwnD0StKOq-zAYSl4r9sJMrq420h6rSos_0bsJXmr5xq-kYctlgNgkQixLIqwI/s1600/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Kristen_Bell_Self_Magazine_Interview_05.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 209px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDH6yw6gZV9GiTosM3eYsNfqdIx15wysAaYBF46zN8ihqhVSbJQoPVOLLSlRR7u8bT632bFJcqNo77XjwnD0StKOq-zAYSl4r9sJMrq420h6rSos_0bsJXmr5xq-kYctlgNgkQixLIqwI/s400/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Kristen_Bell_Self_Magazine_Interview_05.jpg" alt="Kristen Bell" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703939785480176002" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifgFdAqQcRjYRXEPFUE-2R_wZyYuEPSveujTrRziUdqFT096TAIv9E6ACP_Vc-rLzWNQrbq0DWUHQIf6rHgoZG7fBc2aHLYpFlFqwJOOVlJTTIy48Jm7acPMFOb918qleT4_YPJd5yFKk/s1600/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Kristen_Bell_Self_Magazine_Interview_04.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 305px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifgFdAqQcRjYRXEPFUE-2R_wZyYuEPSveujTrRziUdqFT096TAIv9E6ACP_Vc-rLzWNQrbq0DWUHQIf6rHgoZG7fBc2aHLYpFlFqwJOOVlJTTIy48Jm7acPMFOb918qleT4_YPJd5yFKk/s400/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Kristen_Bell_Self_Magazine_Interview_04.jpg" alt="Kristen Bell" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703939779527523522" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg13BVEfc57vs9BDK0Vps40BjT05NvX2WVfTBR6z4thbon6JW0CA7fTxs47hJHfd4EfYHfPkTp9vpmhI3O7f0i4Q6Zp3np4k87sJuU0vnv-yZvxknk3kmkVay4DqNVojeRDTfmGOLFzTP8/s1600/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Kristen_Bell_Self_Magazine_Interview_03.jpeg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 378px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg13BVEfc57vs9BDK0Vps40BjT05NvX2WVfTBR6z4thbon6JW0CA7fTxs47hJHfd4EfYHfPkTp9vpmhI3O7f0i4Q6Zp3np4k87sJuU0vnv-yZvxknk3kmkVay4DqNVojeRDTfmGOLFzTP8/s400/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Kristen_Bell_Self_Magazine_Interview_03.jpeg" alt="Kristen Bell" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703939766776312930" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXMqKGsQwCGRo9MbUJ3UdxX8FAiR9eWkDxpmX-zuBswNvD_b2B_Bl2riBN4Xxayfauo0x1Xk-L901geqHaMa44tL2fZrAyCillMn7c2IZgvSSj2cZ1GcYU0rKdtwzyNzb1YDwQAeWOKeM/s1600/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Kristen_Bell_Self_Magazine_Interview_02.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 404px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXMqKGsQwCGRo9MbUJ3UdxX8FAiR9eWkDxpmX-zuBswNvD_b2B_Bl2riBN4Xxayfauo0x1Xk-L901geqHaMa44tL2fZrAyCillMn7c2IZgvSSj2cZ1GcYU0rKdtwzyNzb1YDwQAeWOKeM/s400/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Kristen_Bell_Self_Magazine_Interview_02.jpg" alt="Kristen Bell" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703939767368435554" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">On her favorite exercise move:</span><br />“Here’s the one that packs the most punch. I call it The Bowler: Stand with your feet hip-width apart, and bend slightly at the waist, holding a 5-pound weight in your right hand. Squat, then swing your right hand up and left, across your body, and sweep your right foot to the left behind you, as if you’re bowling. Do about eight on each side. It’s amazing for the butt cheeks!”<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">On how she splurges:</span><br />“Salted chocolate drives me wild. I’m not a big spender, but I do like buying kitchen tools. I’ve ordered all the ways you can cut a strawberry and that ring to cook an egg in a heart shape.”<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">On her favorite way to relax:</span><br />“I love to cook. I have a tiny Italian grandmother inside me. If someone walks in, I’m like, “Let me make you a sandwich!” We all have a giving-love language and a receiving-love language. I show love by cooking. When people have patience with me, I feel so loved. Dax is extremely patient with me.”<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">On what she eats, seeing that she’s a vegetarian:</span><br />“I’ve been a vegetarian since I was 11, because I couldn’t understand why if we didn’t eat the dog I should eat a burger. I love animals, and I stand by my values. So in the morning, I have an apple and, if we have leftover pizza, I scrape the toppings into egg whites. Pizza eggs are better than you can imagine! For lunch, I’ll have a big salad and a veggie burger. I’m a fan of multicourse dinners. Last night, I made brussels sprouts baked with balsamic vinegar, grapes and walnuts; butternut squash ravioli; and a “garbage disposal” salad, which is everything in the veggie and fruit drawers: lentils, spinach, romaine, blueberries, cucumbers, raspberries, almonds, carrots and avocado. Literally anything. You don’t even need a dressing because there are so many tastes.”<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">On whether she or Dax is the better biker:</span><br />“There’s no comparison! I can barely walk in a straight line, let alone move in one when I’m on a vehicle that has wheels. Dax grew up as a dirt biker. He’s always doing tricks that terrify me. Even so, we ride to brunch or dinner or ice cream all the time.”<br /><br />source :<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">- celebrity-diets.org</span><br /></div>Be Healthy Insidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10451397253358442519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259058195916581635.post-24376240087966336762012-01-31T12:32:00.005-10:002012-01-31T13:10:22.909-10:00Maintaining Oral Health<div style="text-align: justify;">Good oral hygiene is an essential part of a person’s overall personal hygiene. Bad breath can affect your confidence and self esteem. There are many factors that contribute to bad odor in the mouth including cavities, gum disease, a person’s diet and to a certain extent, diseases or conditions in the stomach, sinuses or lungs.<br /><br />Here are simple tips to help you achieve and maintain proper oral hygiene;<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. Brush Your Teeth</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCCF5nv4ytSVqi7hFg3BnmD0klEng0mp18RTOS0JnJUGl0pkirw9T2rmZ2MkhsaHjcmWspm2YQswKefYXHJ0gBA02fR4DAjLVBcOGHD9eew4_1R4F5Mxb6dBkPdLMO6rV8grFouU9LB9Y/s1600/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Maintaining_Oral_Health_Brush_Teeth.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCCF5nv4ytSVqi7hFg3BnmD0klEng0mp18RTOS0JnJUGl0pkirw9T2rmZ2MkhsaHjcmWspm2YQswKefYXHJ0gBA02fR4DAjLVBcOGHD9eew4_1R4F5Mxb6dBkPdLMO6rV8grFouU9LB9Y/s400/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Maintaining_Oral_Health_Brush_Teeth.jpg" alt="Brush Teeth" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703936480004409362" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLMwIk_gzeLOr3WP9r_EXv7EGiP6ouo-ssaft2pI8PZqnvVS4ePMLokW3lyM6xPudRHj-SsOlKteA0UVSeZ2awDKtdrkerxzcmsFjMVFbrJ9AjXQ3w7_Z_Ph5fvL9ditBtIY-f4aQNkfM/s1600/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Maintaining_Oral_Health_Brush_Teeth_2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 264px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLMwIk_gzeLOr3WP9r_EXv7EGiP6ouo-ssaft2pI8PZqnvVS4ePMLokW3lyM6xPudRHj-SsOlKteA0UVSeZ2awDKtdrkerxzcmsFjMVFbrJ9AjXQ3w7_Z_Ph5fvL9ditBtIY-f4aQNkfM/s400/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Maintaining_Oral_Health_Brush_Teeth_2.jpg" alt="Brush Teeth" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703936485598940066" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Dental experts agree that you should brush your teeth after every meal or at least twice a day. Use a toothbrush with a small head and soft bristles. You can also use an electric toothbrush especially if you have not yet mastered proper brushing techniques. Clean all faces of the teeth, brushing thoroughly from top to bottom, left to right. Pay particular attention to hard to reach areas such as areas near the wisdom teeth. Research shows that 90% of bacteria are not on teeth. Remember to brush the cheeks, gums and the tongue.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2.

Using dental floss to reach between the teeth helps remove food particles that are difficult to reach or remove by brushing. This is especially helpful if you are not able to brush your teeth in a particular place.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3.

To achieve total mouth cleanliness, it is recommended to rinse with mouthwash. Rinsing with mouthwash helps kill bacteria that breeds in between teeth, at the back of the tongue and other areas in the mouth that can not be reached by brushing alone. It also helps fight tooth decay and the development of gingivitis. Some mouthwash contains alcohol. This is the reason why some mouthwash sting or leave a burning sensation in the mouth. If this is a concern, choose products that are alcohol free. Check on the active ingredients of the products because some products rely on flavorings to mask the bad odor. Mouthwash that contains CPC kills the bacteria that cause bad breath and plaque.<br /><br />Visit your dentist regularly. Have your dentist check on your brushing technique and oral hygiene routines. Persistent odor could be a symptom of an underlying problem such as rotten teeth or gum problems. Your dentist may need to perform a procedure to correct the problem or repair dentures and prescribe medications.<br /><br />source :<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">- body-hygiene.com</span><br /></div>Be Healthy Insidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10451397253358442519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259058195916581635.post-75708696146745934882012-01-31T12:10:00.007-10:002012-01-31T12:31:16.873-10:00Video "Sexy Legs" Exercise by Sooyoung, Yuri and Seohyun<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYClx-jHLen9N118CTX08Tz9bQQ9h_mF7qKrMAtfAzucEV9aV2OS1sbJtkxUHuQQm8YsWzUhCzPBZvkYFnUZajgTo4TlYZlHaj_27Odv15eSEO8hHeog3x9ujZ30iZQwEQa1CS33Gx6pg/s1600/yes4healthy.blogspot.com_Video_Sexy_Legs_Exercise_Sooyoung_Yuri_Seohyun_07"><img style="cursor: pointer;

However, there are many people who feel uncomfortable applying such an unfamiliar substance on their skin. Let’s look into what’s true and what’s false among a variety of issues regarding face oil products.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Does face oil block skin pores?</span><br /><br />There is a theory that face oil blocks the pores, causing skin troubles when it is applied to sensitive skin. However, recently released face oils are mostly made of natural extracts, not mineral oil, and are known for their smooth penetration into the skin without blocking pores.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Does face oil leave the skin feeling greasy?</span><br /><br />It is natural to think that oil would leave the skin feeling greasy. However, oil made of vegetable extracts consists of ultra-fine particles that penetrate deep enough so as not to leave any greasy feeling on the skin. By rapidly permeates down into a deeper layer of the skin, it provides richer nutrition and moisture for the skin.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Does face oil work for oily skin?</span><br /><br />Those who are troubled with oily skin may feel uncomfortable about adding yet more oil to their skin. However, two or three drops of oil properly massaged into the skin is enough to optimize oil-water balance, which leads to a softer, moister skin than skin that is frequently blotted with oil-blotting paper.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">source : news.mt.co.kr</span><br /></div>Be Healthy Insidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10451397253358442519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259058195916581635.post-89872772834610885422011-06-06T03:43:00.002-10:002011-12-08T03:50:37.318-10:00How To Increase Kids Weight<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://techonly13.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/5.jpg?w=150&h=113"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 169px; height: 128px;" src="http://techonly13.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/5.jpg?w=150&h=113" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />What??? Isn’t this a weight LOSS blog? LOL… yes, it is. But I noticed that I’d received a couple of visitors who were looking for information on how to increase kids weight and since this is another child health and nutrition issue, I felt it was worth creating a post to address it. I’m sure even some of you who are looking for solutions for overweight children also have other children who are underweight and need to gain weight… I know my children are like that. My oldest daughter has inherited my characteristic of storing most of her fat around her hips and thighs. My son, however, is so skinny that if he turns sideways he doesn’t cast a shadow! (I know, you can’t fatten a thoroughbred!) Yet they have always eaten the same things.<br /><br />So how do we solve the issue of how to increase kids weight?<br /><br />Firstly, we need to understand where calories come from. There are three types of calories based on the sources of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.<br /><br />The role of carbohydrates in the body<br /><br />Carbohydrates provide the primary source of fuel to the human body.<br /><br /> * Carbohydrates are converted to glucose then burned to supply immediate energy requirements<br /> * They supply energy to the Central Nervous System which requires glucose to function properly.<br /> * They supply instant energy to the Muscles for physical activity – Fats and proteins are only utilized after being converted to carbs then sugar.<br /> * They free proteins to be used for muscle development rather than an emergency energy source.<br /> * Foods rich in carbohydrates are often rich in dietary fiber (especially whole grains). This fiber is crucial to digestive health and can help prevent many digestive conditions including cancer, diverticulitis and irritable bowel syndrome.<br /><br />The role of protein in the body<br /><br />Proteins are essential building blocks for the body and muscles. They perform a variety of functions including:<br /><br /> * Antibodies – Specialized proteins that defend the body from bacteria, viruses and other potentially harmful foreign particles.<br /> * Contractile proteins – Assist with muscle contraction and movement<br /> * Enzymes – proteins which act as catalysts for certain biochemical processes in the body including digestion<br /> * Hormonal proteins – messenger proteins that coordinate certain bodily functions such as the onset of puberty<br /> * Structural proteins – fibrous, stringy proteins that provide support to tendons, ligaments etc. For example. Collagen, elastin and keratin<br /> * Amino acids (storage proteins) – Muscles are predominantly made of the protein building blocks known as amino acids.<br /> * Transport proteins – proteins that carry molecules around the body. E.g. hemoglobin which carries oxygen through the bloodstream to where it is required<br /><br />The role of fat in the body<br /><br />While an excess of certain fats is unhealthy, fats fulfill important functions in the body including:<br /><br /> * Fat provides energy during times of famine or when illness causes low appetite or the body is unable to retain food (i.e. vomiting)<br /> * Fat helps insulate the body against extreme cold or heat.<br /> * Certain vital organs require a protective cushion of fat.<br /> * Dietary fat carries and enables absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.<br /> * Fat supplies essential fatty acids like Omega 6 (linoleic acid) and Omega 3 (alpha-linolenic acid).<br /><br />As you can see all three sources of calories are vital to the human body. However, there are certain combinations that assist with weight gain.<br /><br />It’s logical that an underweight person has a metabolism that burns only enough calories to supply their daily energy requirements. This is usually due to one of two factors… (a) They eat barely enough for their level of activity, or (b) Their metabolism is inefficient. Having an inefficient metabolism means that a portion of calories consumed pass unused from the body. Many young people experience this. They can eat whatever they like and they never gain weight. However, this can change. Things happen, like pregnancy in women, that cause metabolism to become more efficient and you suddenly have to be careful of what you eat.<br /><br />So how does this help us to know how to increase kids weight?<br /><br />When you examine the functions of different calorie types you’ll see that the most readily absorbed form of calories come from carbohydrates. This is because carbohydrates are closest to the form required by the body for energy. Fats and proteins must be converted to carbohydrates before being utilized for energy requirements. So to increase kids weight, get them to eat more carbohydrates such as breads, pasta, rice, cereals etc. Try to use wholegrain alternatives to provide the dietary fiber required for digestive health.<br /><br />However, don’t just increase their carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are primarily converted to fat cells. Your child needs more than just fat cells. They also need to increase the muscle content of the body and for this they require protein.<br /><br />It is possible to increase carbohydrate and protein consumption without increasing overall food consumption. It just requires a little research to reveal food options that are rich in carbohydrates and protein. You can do this at Nutrition data. But here are some foods to start with.<br /><br />Cereals: Corn flakes, oat bran.<br />Pasta & rice: couscous, spinach pasta, rice.<br />Vegetables: Dehydrated mashed potato, leeks, shitake mushrooms, tomato powder, mung beans, fava (broad) beans, dried split peas, kidney beans, lentils, lima beans.<br />Fruits & nuts: Dried fruits, sunflower seeds, chestnuts.<br />Dairy: Tofu, Eggs, egg substitute powder, parmesan cheese topping, buttermilk.<br />Snacks: potato crisps (chips), popcorn, corn cakes, tortillas, pretzels, granola bars.<br />Meals: Kraft macaroni cheese dinner.<br />Meats: Fried chicken, beef round steak, bacon, veal leg steak, beef salami, honey roast ham, offal products (liver etc).<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />source : weightlosstips4kids.com</span><br /></div>Be Healthy Insidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10451397253358442519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259058195916581635.post-9610876299302326892011-06-05T03:34:00.002-10:002011-12-08T03:42:52.539-10:00Fighting Obesity In Adolescents – Boys<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTb79mKVIjbJwTMlGyLg-_m4KKZcG6fD04fkH1A4D1-6bJOCkLFOXm3v9BA"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 166px; height: 214px;" src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTb79mKVIjbJwTMlGyLg-_m4KKZcG6fD04fkH1A4D1-6bJOCkLFOXm3v9BA" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />If you’re unfortunate enough to need help fighting obesity in adolescents, in this case overweight teenage boys, then you may need an appropriate diet plan that will meet the nutritional requirements of the obese teenager in question. While society focuses more on girls having to be skinny and ‘sexy’, the fact is that many teenage boys are also overweight, even athletic teenagers like rugby and baseball players can experience weight issues. Overweight teenage boys can be found anywhere, it’s not just those who live sedentary lifestyles and munch out on junk food that have this problem. It doesn’t matter what cultural background they have, how fit they are or what they eat, overweight teenage boys are found in all walks of life.<br /><br />Perhaps like many others, you have the incorrect stereotypical opinion that all obese adolescent boys sit in front of the television playing video games for hours on end and fail to get the appropriate exercise needed to maintain healthy body weight. Unfortunately, this isn’t necessarily the case. Even teenage boys who actively participate in sporting events can still be obese.<br /><br />Finding an appropriate diet plan to fight obesity in adolescents can be very challenging. Even after finding an appropriate exercise plan for particular teenagers, it may not be sufficient. You could resort to alternative methods like diet pills, but that may not necessarily the best way to go as it may interfere with the delicate balance of nutrients required for adolescent growth. Sometimes the solution can be much simpler (and cheaper) than resorting to chemical aid like diet pills. You may find the solution is as straightforward as using several methods in conjunction to help the adolescent drop those excess pounds.<br /><br />To fight obesity in adolescents you should first ensure that they have a healthy diet. If necessary you can reduce the amount of ready made, packaged foods and substitute extra fruit and vegetables. Keep in mind that teenagers are still growing. This means that they require more energy than you may think. The recommended calorie intake for a 16-18 year old male is 3000… compared to 2800 for an adult male. Of course, at this age your adolescent male is bulking on muscle as well as fat so it’s important that their protein consumption be a little higher than it was when they were younger. These factors make it difficult to determine how many calories are too much. However, with time, patience, and some luck, most people will eventually determine the right balance for their teenager. Keep in mind that you should pay attention to both portion size AND content. Adolescents require a wide variety of nutrients. Vitamin supplements can ensure that your teenager is receiving all the vitamins and nutrients he requires, though it isn’t recommended that you depend entirely on them to the exclusion of a healthy diet.<br /><br />Remember, to fight obesity in adolescents you should reduce the amount of high calorie and high energy foods while substituting nutrient rich foods like fruit and vegetables to allow your adolescent to fill up on foods that won’t convert to fat so easily. Stay close to nature… give them something in it’s own skin rather than something out of a plastic packet!<br /><br />After pinpointing an appropriate diet for your teenager, encourage him to engage in some form of exercise that he enjoys to help ensure that he is active. Even if this means playing Wii sportz… there are those who have lost significant amounts of weight based solely upon this type of exercise. If he’s an active participant in sports, and makes healthy changes to his diet, it will help ensure that he starts losing weight. You’ll be amazed how much difference dieting and exercise can make to a teenage boy’s energy and self image. Using diet plans to overcome obesity in adolescents could be the perfect way help your teenager feel better about himself.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">source : weightlosstips4kids.com</span><br /></div>Be Healthy Insidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10451397253358442519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259058195916581635.post-59335492277993738002011-06-04T04:28:00.002-10:002011-12-08T03:36:53.871-10:00Dietary Effects On Teen Pregnancy<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdqhinWfkVSgszoJGXceL7CCdbqAStQgLGi1bZYTsU5xvBLv585Kq_i8cuMMV2K15Uno3ZIpnsmxlbyiXbwqjDKAwDh_N6pJAXjr13309mk84j-bzbjui8SwgQ9Nf3V1Su68fGEq9xeas/s400/nutrisi-orang-hamil.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 182px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdqhinWfkVSgszoJGXceL7CCdbqAStQgLGi1bZYTsU5xvBLv585Kq_i8cuMMV2K15Uno3ZIpnsmxlbyiXbwqjDKAwDh_N6pJAXjr13309mk84j-bzbjui8SwgQ9Nf3V1Su68fGEq9xeas/s400/nutrisi-orang-hamil.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />If you have a pregnant teenage daughter you probably want to know about the dietary effects on teen pregnancy. We all know that it is important to have a nutritionally balanced diet, this is even more true during pregnancy. Teenagers have many special dietary needs. Whether your teen is a boy or girl, you understand there are certain things they require more than others. Doubtless, as they have grown, you’ve attempted to provide them with exactly what they need while trying to steer them away from things that make them unhealthy. Like the old adage says, “mother knows best,” This is true not only with regards to understanding that teenagers have special dietary requirements, but also that pregnant women do.<br /><br />During Pregnancy women require a carefully balanced diet. Without that healthy diet, the risk of birth complications increases exponentially. Even the baby can be put in danger by an inadequate diet. This can be quite traumatic for the mother, especially if she is unaware of the danger that not eating a well balanced diet can put on both herself and her baby. For mothers who don’t realize this before things happen, it is a tragic and devastating blow.<br /><br />So how can you help your pregnant teenager? As you can imagine, the dietary effects on teen pregnancy are exceedingly important. Not only does the mother need to take care of her own nutritional requirements, but she needs to also consider the nutritional requirements of the growing baby so that she can provide it with the sustenance it requires to grow and be healthy. This is an extremely challenging undertaking, especially for those who may not understand the importance of it. Of course, it is extremely important to both mother and baby.<br /><br />The best way to help your pregnant teenager is to encourage them to talk to a nutritionist about specific dietary requirements that may be appropriate. This helps to ensure that she receives the correct nutrition that is appropriate for the situation. If in doubt, it is better to play it safe. Nutritionists are specially trained to make certain that people receive the right types of food for their individual circumstance.<br /><br />Being pregnant as a teenager can be a frightening thing. If a nutritionist or a physician isn’t an option, then you can always search the internet to find diet plans for pregnant teenagers. Encourage your pregnant teen to eat a well balanced diet with appropriate sized portions for both their requirements and the baby’s. If she doesn’t eat enough, she can put both her baby and herself at risk. Pregnancy is extremely tiring, without proper nutrition, this situation can be exacerbated. If you are looking into dietary effects on teen pregnancy, Be certain to double check any information you discover with other sources to ensure it is correct.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">source : weightlosstips4kids.com</span></div>Be Healthy Insidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10451397253358442519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259058195916581635.post-24561056885250477632011-06-03T04:20:00.001-10:002011-12-07T04:27:56.949-10:00Top Tips For Weight Loss For Teens<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRfk7WxoP8KXysn9zWzxK9CcT7NhxaCnTU_orsEV-TgULKym57NOA&t=1"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 249px; height: 203px;" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRfk7WxoP8KXysn9zWzxK9CcT7NhxaCnTU_orsEV-TgULKym57NOA&t=1" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Do you need tips for weight loss for teens? Modern society puts tremendous pressure on teenagers to be thin (even to the point of it being unhealthy). Popular teen television programs all feature thin, attractive characters. Even overbearing parents place unnecessary stress on their teens to lose weight, and worse still, is the peer pressure that teenagers face, peers can be incredibly judgmental of a their weight or any other perceived flaw.<br /><br />Being the high school “fat kid” is a recipe for long-lasting self-esteem issues. There’s no instant solution to this problem. Weight loss is tough, and the added pressures that come with puberty and the teen years only complicates matters even more. Taking advantage of some of these tips can help make the teenage experience less scary for teens who might be overweight.<br /><br />One of the most crucial tips, especially for young girls, is to make sure that they understand what a healthy person looks like. Many young women on television are dangerously thin. The media portray this as ideal, but in truth, it’s not a healthy lifestyle. Many adolescent girls develop eating disorders trying to look like women they see on TV, and this is a recipe for disaster. Make sure they understand what is and isn’t a healthy weight. You can check their BMI with them at kidshealth.org<br /><br />Adolescent girls are not the only one who fall victim to eating disorders, it’s a problem for adolescent males too… though perhaps to a lesser extent. It’s common for teenagers to look in the mirror and perceive themselves as ugly and fat, when they’re realy a perfectly healthy young person. If you constantly feel anxious and depressed about your weight or appearance, you should consult a psychologist or school counselor. They can help you improve your self-image and pursue weight loss goals in a healthy way.<br /><br />Another tip for weight loss for teens is to keep in mind what your body is growing through. During the teen years, your body undergoes tremendous changes that affect your growth. For instance, your body might cycle between bulking up on muscle/fat then switch to a growth spurt in which you gain several inches in height, this makes your weight even out across your frame.<br /><br />Puberty is a complex time – if you know you’re following healthy diet and exercise habits but aren’t seeing results, you may need to wait until you’ve fully grown into your body.<br /><br />Regardless of anything else you do, exercise and diet will always be important factors in weight loss. Remember this as you go through school, and think of ways to improve your health. If the school cafeteria only serves greasy, unhealthy foods, discuss with your parents about taking a healthy lunch from home every day. Always participate in gym class, and get involved in extra-curricular sports activities if possible.<br /><br />One last factor that can be a great asset in weight loss for teens is enlisting the aid of friends and family. In most cases, your family wants to be healthy too, and you can support one another while trying to improve your health. If one of your parents is the primary cook, discuss with them about healthier food options.<br /><br />And if you want extra exercise you can offer to help your parents with housework or gardening. These things will help you lose weight AND make your parents EXTREMELY pleased with you!<br /><br />Following these tips for weight loss for teens can make a massive difference for you.<br /><br /> <span style="font-style: italic;">source : weightlosstips4kids.com</span><br /><br /></div>Be Healthy Insidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10451397253358442519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259058195916581635.post-22250213012082988242011-06-02T04:02:00.001-10:002011-12-07T04:15:33.730-10:00Discover Safe And Easy Weight Loss For Teens<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.bronxhouse.org/images/aquatics/pic.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 311px;" src="http://www.bronxhouse.org/images/aquatics/pic.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Does your teen come home from college with tear streaked cheeks because of their weight? Do they rush to their bedroom because they do not want to talk about it? Do you cry with them because you understand and feel their pain? It doesn’t have to be that way for either of you. Read on for more information on simple weight loss for teens.<br /><br />Recent studies show that teenage obesity has reached epidemic proportions. Most studies indicate that not only do body structure, DNA, diets of fast foods and overeating contribute to the weight issues, but the lack of physical activity by today’s adolescents may be a primary cause. A disturbing fact revealed in these studies is that most adolescents have less than thirty minutes of exercise per 24 hour period.<br /><br />Parent who don’t practice healthy eating and exercise habits are contributing to tennager’s dangerous exercise habits and obesity. A smart way to help yourself and your offspring to create healthy habits, is to find an exercise program you can both take part in. It does not have to be boring repetitive type of exercise, it could be loaded with fun. However, there’s one thing you must do before starting any exercise program.<br /><br />If you and your teen are both overweight, you should consult with your family doctor to have a physical checkup before committing to any weight loss or exercise program. This checkup can rule out any underlying health problems which may be causing the weight gain. It will also confirm if you’re each healthy enough to take part in an exercise program to lose weight.<br /><br />Weight loss for teens doesn’t need to be complicated. You can start off with a walking program. To help make it bearable for your adolescent, permit them to take along their I-pod or other music player. But it’s also a great time for you guys to spend quality time together<br /><br />It’s a good idea to take this slowly and talk with them concerning things that they’re interested in. Don’t use it as a time to preach at them or they will simply block you out and you will kill whatever interest they have started to build in exercise.<br /><br />Another fun exercise for the entire family cycling. Remember how much fun you had riding a bike as a child? This exercise is one of the best to form a habit for both you and your children. It does not take long before it becomes a nice habit for both of you.<br /><br />One of the real advantages from bike riding is that the way it will assist you to shed those extra pounds while building muscle at the same time. In time, both you and your teenager will have more shapely legs and a firmer butt. In addition it elevates your heart rate, which will benefit your body with increased oxygen saturation as well as forcing you to consume extra energy.<br /><br />Another fun exercise to participate in is swimming. Obviously not everyone has the luxury of a private pool, In which case you can attend a local public swimming pool or gym… or get friendly with someone who has a backyard swimming pool.<br /><br />You need to face the fact that as a parent, it’s your responsibility to ensure your child’s welfare and overall health. By encouraging them to develop healthy eating and exercise habits now, while they are still young, you are setting them up for life.<br /><br />Easy weight loss for teens, doesn’t have to be exhausting, nor must it be boring. It simply needs to be done.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">source : weightlosstips4kids.com</span><br /></div>Be Healthy Insidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10451397253358442519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259058195916581635.post-18423854008777114472011-06-01T03:50:00.003-10:002011-12-07T04:00:17.968-10:00Vitamins For Kids - Making Sure Your Childs Nutritional Needs Are Met<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://pinginpintar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/brokoli.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 245px; height: 238px;" src="http://pinginpintar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/brokoli.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />As all parents know, getting children to eat the right kinds of foods to meet their nutritional requirements can be a tremendous challenge. It seems like they only ever want to eat junk because they are so fussy about what they will and won’t eat. It’s enough to make you want to tear your hair out in frustration. I’m sure I’m not the only parent who has ever wondered how to give their child a balanced diet when all they want to eat is sausages and mash!<br /><br />Thankfully, my daughter is now eight years old and is more adventurous, she loves pumpkin (especially roasted), she’ll eat a few peas, loves baby carrots and broccoli (of all things), plus several types of fruit. But she is still very fussy about a lot of other things… her thing at the moment is ‘I don’t like garlic!’ Althought she loves garlic bread… go figure! When she was in pre-school (kindergarten) she wasn’t allowed to take snack bars, cookies or any type of junk food for snack time. It had to be something healthy like fruit. The only option we had with her was cheese because she wouldn’t eat fruit at that time. It was kind of funny, because her teacher actually told us off for always sending her with a couple of cheese wedges… oh well, at least her calcium needs were being met :)<br /><br />When you have a child that is fussy about what they will eat it can be extremely difficult to make sure that their nutritional requirements are met. At times like this a vitamin supplement is ideal to supply what their diet lacks.<br /><br />You can buy vitamins for kids from just about anywhere these days, health food stores, supermarkets, pharmacies etc. My daughter has taken a multi vitamin from Herron chewable Vita minis for several years. Vitamins for kids come in several different types including multi vitamin, vitamin C, Omega 3, calcium… even fiber.<br /><br />They also come in several different formats. From chewable vitamin tablets (like Herron Vita minis) to products like those from Hero Nutritionals who supply ‘gummi’ vitamins for both adults and children. The vitamins for kids are called Yummi Bears. You know, like Gummi Bears only they’re a vitamin? These are ideal for children who don’t like traditional vitamins because it effectively turns vitamin time into treat time… all kids love their candy and that’s exactly what they think Yummi Bears are… only you will know they’re good for them. Hero Nutritionals even supply Yummi SourZ for kids who like sour candy.<br /><br />So if you have a child who is a fussy eater, providing them with a children nutritional supplement can be a fantastic way to make sure their nutritional requirements are met thus giving YOU peace of mind while you attempt the introduce them to the types of food that will supply those needs<br /><br />It should be noted that a children nutritional supplement does not remove the need for a balanced diet. It is still extremely important to introduce nutritionally balanced foods in a way that makes your child willing to eat it.<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"></span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">source : weightlosstips4kids.com</span><br /></div>Be Healthy Insidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10451397253358442519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259058195916581635.post-90022853352096303132011-05-30T21:41:00.000-10:002011-12-07T03:48:46.057-10:00How to Increase Your Child’s Fitness Levels Without Stressing them Out!<div style="text-align: justify;">Being overweight is difficult. Especially for a child. Other kids tease them, tell them they’re fat, and simply don’t understand. Most people just assume an overweight kid is a glutton, that’s not always the case.<br /><br />There are many causes of obesity in kids, with just a few being mental health issues which in turn may stop kids from exercising or playing with their friends, kidney issues can cause excess weight, and some medications can plow on the weight as well. And these are just a few. Rather than judging, we need to be more mindful of the problem, and find creative ways to help alleviate it.<br /><br />One way to do this is to exercise as a family. Here are a few ideas:<br /><br /><a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQqnPD5va-oeNL8KuMsXnq7SpsrOJiab8lVJLLyNx9u7ID__p_SBcgxjNdw"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 202px; height: 250px;" src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQqnPD5va-oeNL8KuMsXnq7SpsrOJiab8lVJLLyNx9u7ID__p_SBcgxjNdw" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cycling:</span> plan a bicycle trip where the whole family goes along. It doesn’t have to be anywhere too far away, and in fact, it’s better to start off with a very short trip. Start off with (say) a ten minute trip, and gradually build on that. After one or two ten minute trips, build it up to fifteen, then twenty minutes and so on.<br /><br />It’s better to build up over time rather than start off with a long trip where everyone is exhausted and has aching muscles. By building up gradually, there’s less likelihood of this happening.<br /><br />Perhaps you can find a nice park as your destination when the trip is a little longer. Pack a picnic lunch and carry it in backpacks. That way not only is the trip healthy, it’s also a cheap outing for the entire family.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Walking:</span> this is a great activity, especially if the overweight person is also unwell (which is often the case), or some of the walkers are ‘more mature’. Walking has much less impact on the body than running or jogging, but is very effective.<br /><br />Like cycling, it’s a good idea to start off with short walks, and build on the distance. It’s much better to take a short walk around the block, than to try for a longer distance on the first effort. When you are confident enough to go further, give it a shot.<br /><br />Keep in mind failure to complete is a big problem for many overweight children. If they are unable to ‘make the cut’ they’re less likely to try again.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Playing Ball:</span> believe it or not, the simple act of throwing a ball around can have an impact on the fitness of an overweight child. Although relatively low-key, it’s still exercise and will help lift the child’s fitness levels.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fit Ball:</span> although at first glance it may not seem possible, these unassuming balls can do a lot to help tone and also lift fitness levels. They are a great choice for anyone who is very overweight, because they make the exercise less stressful on the body. Fit Balls are relatively cheap – starting at $20 – but depending on the quality can be much more expensive. They generally come with their own set of exercise sheets.<br /><br />Each of these exercises will have a low impact on your child’s body, but will contribute to their fitness level.<br /><br />They are all fun activities, and in many cases, your child won’t even realize they are exercising. Keeping it fun is the key to guiding your child to a more active (and therefore fitter) life.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">source : weightlosstips4kids.com</span><br /></div>Be Healthy Insidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10451397253358442519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259058195916581635.post-67583917932081861432011-05-29T05:11:00.000-10:002011-12-07T03:48:46.058-10:00How to Help Your Child Develop a Healthy Body Image<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://cdn.vogue.com.au/media/articles/9/3/0/9379-1_n.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 421px; height: 316px;" src="http://cdn.vogue.com.au/media/articles/9/3/0/9379-1_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Body image is a learned behavior. It’s learned from society, peers and family and it stays with us for life.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The effect of society on body image</span><br /><br />The benchmark here is the fashion and entertainment industries. When you see fashion models are they realistically proportioned people? NO!!! The vast majority of them fit an extremely narrow segment of society… those with an hourglass figure. Most female models in particular are size 4-8… despite the average size being 12-14. Keep in mind that these girls are most probably underweight. If we compare ourselves to them, of course we end up feeling like big fat blimps!<br /><br />It’s important to teach your children that very few people could ever fit this ideal since it is based on the classic hourglass figure and only 5% of people have this figure type. For anyone else to reach these proportions it would be physically impossible, not to mention extremely unhealthy. If your child is in their mid teens it’s probably a good idea to help them identify their own body type to help avoid comparisons. If they DO have an hourglass figure it’s probably best to focus on healthy body size… you might want to calculate their BMI with them. To learn how to do this visit <a href="http://yes4healthy.blogspot.com/2011/05/what-is-bmi-how-to-calculate-bmi-for.html">How to calculate BMI</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The effect of peers on body image</span><br /><br />Children are extremely impressionable and dependent upon the approval of others. So when their peers say they are fat, ugly or whatever, children take it to heart. Of course, children don’t have the maturity to understand what is and isn’t a healthy size. Combine that with the fact that children can be extremely cruel because they haven’t learned to treat others as they want to be treated. These factors mean a child can receive some extremely negative messages about their body at a time when they desperately need positive affirmations.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The effect of family on body image</span><br /><br />While most of the blame for body image issues goes to the fashion and entertainment industries, what children see at home can also have a negative impact. For example, when we make negative comments about our body our children hear that and trust our opinion… we’re their parents after all, adults who must therefore be right about these things… NOT!!! Children use our opinions to create their own perceptions of appropriate body size. Thus, the more negative we are, the more negative they learn to be. This relates to any part of the body, whether it be our bottom, thighs, love handles, face, arms, neck, whatever part of our body we don’t like. Unfortunately, children learn from that.<br /><br />Constantly talking about being ‘on a diet’ or ‘trying to lose weight’ has the same effect. Think of ‘diet’ as a dirty word! Again, children learn from this. All they have is inaccurate perceptions provided by other people. Without educated knowledge of what is and isn’t a healthy body size it can have a very detrimental effect on their body image.<br /><br />It is important to educate children about their body as they approach those turbulent teenage years when they start to take control of their own lives and truly become an individual. But how do we do this so they will develop a healthy body image?<br /><br />Here are a few tips:<br /></div><ol style="text-align: justify;"><li>Avoid making negative comments about YOUR body in front of your child, even if you think they’re not around.</li><li>Switch negative comments to positive by changing the ‘I’m on a diet’ line to ‘I’m being health conscious’ (being on a diet is negative, being health conscious is positive). Don’t mention trying to lose weight especially if you’re only trying to lose a small amount</li><li>Avoid making negative comments about their body like ‘gosh you’re getting chubby’ because if their peers are making comments you’ll just be reinforcing the negative body image</li><li>Help your child understand that society has an unrealistic ideal because they focus on only one body type when there are many body types (and show them those body types). Teach them how trying to conform to society’s unrealistic ideal is not only impossibe, but extremely unhealthy when they don’t have that body type.</li><li>Help your child understand that their peers are just spouting what they see in the fashion and entertainment industry when they make negative comments about one anothers bodies.</li><li>If they need to lose weight, don’t tell them you’re putting them on a diet, just substitute some healthy options like fruit for high energy, high sugar, high fat content snacks.</li><li>Most importantly – Make sure you provide positive affirmations about their physical appearance like; you have a good figure, you’re well built, you’re pretty/handsome etc</li></ol><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-style: italic;">source : weightlosstips4kids.com</span><br /></div>Be Healthy Insidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10451397253358442519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259058195916581635.post-22394369895475585022011-05-28T04:42:00.001-10:002011-12-03T05:10:31.574-10:00What is BMI – How to calculate BMI for Adults and children<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYGMFpW6ivbj5CBr8U_4Vi6WbkfnyfVTNIjeru7pmuAH0R05I6c0HQeCyvQOTdkN2NfuKgONlMLZqB3cW9dfe7S4Au6LsGUAXMHc7EGqJ7C3tnR5oT4-6xOI3obej6OET8o-YXjLojWP4/s1600/bmi-comparison.gif"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 409px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYGMFpW6ivbj5CBr8U_4Vi6WbkfnyfVTNIjeru7pmuAH0R05I6c0HQeCyvQOTdkN2NfuKgONlMLZqB3cW9dfe7S4Au6LsGUAXMHc7EGqJ7C3tnR5oT4-6xOI3obej6OET8o-YXjLojWP4/s1600/bmi-comparison.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />In modern society, the most common way for doctors to determine whether a person is overweight is by calculating their BMI. What is BMI I hear you ask?<br /><br />BMI is the abbreviation of ‘Body Mass Index’. BMI is a measure of an individuals weight compared to their height. It is used to provide an estimate of how much body fat an individual has. It can also indicate what risk factors a person has of suffering from obesity related health issues such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and high blood pressure.<br /><br />There are four main levels of interpretation of BMI results in adults, although these can also be split into six:<br /><br />1) BMI below 16 – Severely underweight<br />2) BMI of 16-18 – underweight<br />3) BMI of 18-25 – Healthy weight range<br />4) BMI of 25-30 – overweight<br />5) BMI of 30-40 – Obese<br />6) BMI over 40 – Morbidly Obese<br /><br />While the calculation of BMI in children is the same as it is for adults, the interpretation is different because children are still growing. BMI results for children are broken down into BMI for Age and BMI for sex. A childs BMI is calculated and compared to other children of the same age and sex and displayed as a percentile. In children, it is possible to have a BMI of 18 and still be classed as obese depending on their age and sex. The breakdown for children is<br /><br />1) Lowest 5% of BMI – underweight<br />2) Within 5-85% of BMI – Healthy weight range<br />3) Within 85-95% of BMI – overweight<br />4) In top 5% of BMI – Obese<br /><br />How to calculate BMI.<br /><br />There are two ways to calculate BMI depending on whether your system of measurement is imperial (pounds and inches) or metric (kilograms and metres):<br /><br />In the Imperial system of measurement the formula is weight (lb) divided by height (in) divided by height (in) x 703<br /><br />So if you weigh 198.42lb and are 66.5″ tall then the formula comes out as 198.42 / 66.5 / 66.5 x 703 = BMI of 31.54<br /><br />By Metric the formula is weight (kg) divided by height (cm) divided by height (cm) x 10,000<br /><br />So using the same figures converted is 90kg / 168.91 / 168.91 x 10,000 = BMI of 31.54<br /><br />It should be noted that it is possible to have a high BMI without being overweight because BMI is calculated on overall weight and does not distinguish between the weight of fat or muscle. Therefore, a person who is extremely fit or does weight training can have a high BMI without being overweight. In such cases doctors also use tests such as the skinfold thickness measurement to determine whether a person is carrying unaceptable amounts of fat.<br /><br />Children with high BMI for their age must also undergo other testing (such as the skinfold thickness measurement) for doctors to determine whether they are in fact overweight. It should be noted that it is unadvisable to put children on low fat diets since they need higher fat intake for growth and development.<br /><br />So while BMI is not an exact science, it provides a good indication of whether a person is overweight in the majority of cases.<br /><br />If you believe that yourself or your child may be overweight it is recommended that you consult your family doctor for advice.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">weightlosstips4kids.com</span><br /></div>Be Healthy Insidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10451397253358442519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259058195916581635.post-55710631095447970742011-05-27T04:46:00.001-10:002011-11-30T05:41:00.168-10:00Weight Loss for Children – A Helpful Guide for Parents<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.parentingkidsguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/14-275x270.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 275px; height: 270px;" src="http://www.parentingkidsguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/14-275x270.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Having a healthy lifestyle is necessary to reduce the risks of health problems caused by poor nutrition. Weight loss for children is something we never want to face but may be necessary in these fast paced times when we come to depend more on quick and easy meals. It is crucial that we teach our children an awareness of the importance of having a controlled diet. However, children are naturally stubborn and less attentive to activities that don’t please their interests, after all, they LIKE those high fat, high sugar snacks, a piece of fruit just doesn’t taste as good! Therefore, finding ways to implement a healthy lifestyle to help them reduce weight may take extra effort.<br /><br />There are many weight loss for children tips that you may want to implement to make it easy for your kids to grasp the necessity to practice healthy eating habits. Moreover, informing them of the effects of unhealthy eating habits will help them be aware of the health problems that obesity can cause. Motivation is the key factor to avoid forcing them to do things they simply don’t want to do. It is better to help them realize that you are teaching them concepts to ensure future well being (both physical and emotional).<br /><br />Showing them the benefits of practicing a healthy lifestyle is be the best way to teach them to adapt to weight loss for children if they need to lose weight. Being a good example to your children is the most important way for you to teach them to live a healthy lifestyle. In the dietary sense, this can be achieved by ensuring that family meals are healthy and nutritious. Buy less potato chips, cakes and ready made foods and more fruits and vegetables when you do your grocery shopping. Having foods that are high in fats and sugars in your pantry and refrigerator doesn’t help them control their diet. Therefore, you can start your health awareness on the snacks that you provide for your children. You may want to choose fresh fruits, low-fat products and nuts on your groceries to serve as snacks for your children. If your child is currently overweight you may find that eating these snacks will be enough to help them start losing weight.<br /><br />You should also implement this concept in your meals Just make sure you have filled their plates with healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables and reduce the amount of meat. It is especially important to reduce the number of sausages consumed since one sausage contains 75% fat plus about half the recommended daily intake of cholesterol.<br /><br />Tip: If you have access to Kangaroo meat it is an excellent substitute for beef. Kangaroo meat is higher in protein, zinc and iron than other meats while being much lower in fats. The small amount of fat contained in kangaroo meat is mostly healthy fat. Kangaroo mince is an excellent choice for spaghetti Bolognese or tacos if you are looking for a low fat option.<br /><br />Other good meats to include are lean skinless chicken breast (make sure to remove the skin prior to cooking as most of the fat is just under the skin) and lean pork (trim the fat off). These ‘white’ meats are also low in iron however. Fish is also an excellent choice because it is low in cholesterol, most of the cholesterol in fish is good cholesterol and it also contains omega 3 fatty acids which seriously help in the control of cholesterol. Even shellfish can be safely eaten, though shellfish like prawns, scallops, lobsters etc are traditionally high in cholesterol the effect is negated by the increased amount of Omega 3 fatty acid.<br /><br />Lastly, it’s effective to be constructive when approaching weight loss for children. Instead of forcing them to go on a diet, you can introduce healthy meals and explain the health effects of eating the right food. Being positive about choosing fruits and other healthy foods is also much more advisable rather than warning them about harmful effects of eating junk foods. Children are just like us, when we discuss negatives with them they have the attitude that it wouldn’t happen to them.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">source : weightlosstips4kids.com</span><br /></div>Be Healthy Insidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10451397253358442519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259058195916581635.post-90971072877714484742011-05-26T21:55:00.003-10:002011-05-26T22:05:57.508-10:00Salad Practical Homemade<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.dennysantoso.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/green-salad.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 460px; height: 280px;" src="http://www.dennysantoso.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/green-salad.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">For 4 servings</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Salad ingredients:</span><br /><br />- 4 items egg white (steamed cooked, diced)<br />- 250 g tofu (steamed cooked, diced)<br />- 200 g of nata de coco (waste water, wash, drain)<br />- 80 g green salad<br />- 70 g of red lettuce<br />- 50 g of curly lettuce<br />- 25 g salad dressing<br />- 60 g mayonnaise<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How to make:</span><br /></div><ol style="text-align: justify;"><li>Rinse with water, cook all ingredients with boiled water and drain until dry.</li><li>Steamed egg whites and tofu until cooked.
